Chapter 6: Gohan's Birthday

Krillin hadn't get out of his hiding place until that moment. He doesn't know what was happening and how to react either. But he finally decided to get out of that bush and talk to Chichi about that.

Chichi was laying on her knees while she cried hysterically, when Krillin came closer to her. Slowly, he put his hand on her shoulder for making her knowing that he was there. Chichi without knowing what she was doing, put her arms around his neck and started to cry on his shoulder.

Krillin was confused, he doesn't know what to do. He felt the anguish in the wife of his best friend, however he was mad about how she had been unfaithful to Goku all this years.

After she finished crying and calm down, she finally realized that she was crying in Krillin's shoulder. In that moment she stay quiet, trying to find the extactly words to explain what was just happen, and after thinking a moment she got the courage to ask him:

- When did you arrive here?, What did you see? - She asked quivering, still with her eyes full of tears.

- If your question if is I saw you kissing Piccolo, the answer is... Yes, I saw everything. - He answer seriously, putting his hand on his head.

-I'm sorry, I didn't want that anyone found out this. - Said Chichi getting up and turning around so Krillin can't see her face.

- What I don't understand is.... How can you get in love with someone like Piccolo? He is an evil man, he almost kill Goku in the last Martial Arts Tournament.

- You are wrong. Piccolo never was a bad guy. We know each other before that stupid Tournament, and before that fight with Goku, but my father didn't approve our relationship and that's why I marry Goku. - she get a sigh and she sat at Krillin left side and continue talking - Piccolo never want to conquer the world in that Tournament he only wanted to defeat Goku because he can't stand that I get married with him. All was a shame, and its all my fault! - Chichi said falling in her knees and start to cry again.

Krillin doesn't know what to do with all that information. Are he going to tell Goku about what he saw? If he does, probably Goku will left Chichi and then he will try to kill Piccolo, as well Gohan didn't have any fault about what happened, and he doesn't deserve a life without his parents together. Kirllin was very confused. But suddenly, Chichi interrupt his thoughts.

- I beg you don't tell this to anybody! - She said looking into his eyes. - I know this is wrong, but I can't to this to Goku. I know, you don't have to belive me, but I haven't seen Piccolo since the Tournament. I had tried to get in love with Goku, but I can't. Besides Goku doesn't help me either, because he isn't romantic and he don't spend much time with me either, he only thinks on food and going to spar.

Krillin, in spite of his friendship with Goku, agreed to keep the secret, he didn't admit to her, but he understand how she feels.

Months had passed after that talk between Chichi and Krillin. Piccolo as he promised, he took Gohan once a month to see her mother. Chichi always offer him to stay and he generally agreed with that, stray with her helps him to forget his loneliness. Those days was Gohan's favorites, because he can stay with Piccolo and his mother, and take a rest of his hard training with his mentor.

Gohan's birthday finally came, and Chichi asked Piccolo if that month can bring Gohan in his special day for getting him a great party. Piccolo agreed with that. That day Chichi won't bought any present for him, because she knows that in the deep jungle he can't have anything, so Chichi organize a great party in her home and invited all her friends: Bulma, Yamcha, Tien-Shin-Han, Chaos, Roshi, Krillin, etc..

It was a great day and all of them were preparing for the kid's arrival. That day Piccolo gets earlier as he promised to left Gohan there. All the guests get scared with his arrival, that man still terrorized them. Without worrying about what the guests though, Piccolo got closer to Chichi with the kid.

- Chichi, there is your little brat. I will came back for him in the afternoon. Tomorrow we have to train and I don't want him to be sleepy. - Piccolo said to her.

- Ok, thanks Piccolo. - Chichi answered.

- Mr. Piccolo! Don't go! - Gohan shout meanwhile he ran and grab his leg. - Its my birthday and I want it to be with you too.

Piccolo doesn't know what to do with the little boy, he won't stay there, and less with all that guests that hate him to death. All of them look at him terrorized thinking that they don't want him to stay at the party, and they didn't know why the little kid want that either.

- I can't Gohan, you know I can't. - Piccolo answered.

- But you always stay when you take me here with mom. - Said the innocent boy.

All the guest get white. "What? Piccolo staying here?" They thought. Chichi get nervous and tried to solve the problem.

- Hahaha! Gohan what are you saying?, Mr. Piccolo never stay here when you come. He always brought you here at the morning at come for you in the afternoon. Kids, they had a great imagination. - She said laughing nervously.

- But mom! I... - Answer Gohan confused.

- Ok Gohan, I will stay here. But shout up now! - Piccolo answered quickly for avoiding more suspicions about them. Piccolo never agree with Gohan's whims but this time he need to stay for watching that he didn't talk to much about that. Krillin only saw Piccolo in a disparaging way.

Finally Piccolo take a chair and sit at the table where all the guest where. Gohan was so happy that he start to sing the "Piccolo DaiSuki" (Remember that song?) Piccolo became nervous with that song and the way all were looking at him.

- Shut up Gohan! Stop bugging me with that stupid song! - He said blushing.

- Sorry, Mr. Piccolo. - He said with his face down but still looking at his mentor.

- It's ok, but be sure that it won't happen again. Understand?! - Piccolo shout to the little boy.

- Yes, Mr. Piccolo. - Answer Gohan again. He decided to keep playing. The guests where a little nervous with Piccolo presence but they try to ignore him for avoid problems.

Finally it was time for the cake, and Gohan get hurry to take some of it, but he start to grab some with his hands (he was about seven months that he eat that way and in some way he forget to use his modals).

- Gohan! - Piccolo shout.

- Gohan understand and get his hands off the cake, and wait to her mother. It wasn't the first time that Piccolo scold him for that.

All the guest were gossip about Piccolo, but no one knows that Piccolo listen all, because of his Namek ears.

- That kid respect a lot to Piccolo. - Bulma said.

- I don't understand nothing, but he is educating him, he looks like his father. - Yamcha answered. - But I still don't trust him.

- Maybe Piccolo isn't bad as he did. - Tien-Shin-han said.

- No, I can't believe that. He is a monster. - Bulma answered him.

- Shout up right now! I heard all your bullshit! And yes, I'm the same as always, and when we beat those Sayayins, I will kill all of you! - Piccolo shout to them.

All the guest move back getting away from him. Piccolo sat up and get away a little and start to meditate near a tree until the party gets over. Finally it start to getting dark and Piccolo get up to took Gohan. All his friends said goodbye to him lovingly and then they flew away.

- Chichi, you are so brave. How do you agree of having Piccolo here? - Asked Bulma.

- Well I don't know. - She said with a sad face and enter home. All her guest follow her and help her to clean all the things of the party.

- Well Chichi, it was a wonderful party, we go now. Thanks for all. - Krillin said, preparing to leave.

Finally, all of them gets in Bulma ship and fly away from there.
